    Not getting into any debate re which racing venue is the most profitable or has the brightest future ... my only comment is that Ross has really tremendously diminished the football game attendance experience for UM and Fins fans with his extracurricular land use projects at Hard Rock. The...

    Creative real estate design / development cures a host of location ills. I recall when Lennar was first announcing they were going to develop a major residential project in what is now Doral ... on a full section (640 acres) ... which was located just south of a major landfill. Initially people...

    There are interesting precedents and articles regarding sports venues in real estate development. "Mixed use sports developments position themselves as truly year around destinations". "Incorporating hotels, offices, apartments, event spaces and developing a best in class neighborhood". One...

    The U of Miami Architecture program could be one key in coming up with a plan that Miami Dade County could get behind. I came across a Miami Dade redevelopment study ... "Poinciana Park Study" ... that covered the potential of redeveloping 115 acres (38 parcels comprising 37 acres owned by the...

    The OB was "away from campus" (6.5 miles) and that worked quite well. UM isn't purchasing nearby homes in CG to build a stadium. Never. Radakovich has his plate full right now with the behind the scenes work with other ACC AD's in the pending conference realignment. Once that is in the rearview...

    There is NOTHING "a mile and a half walk" from UM campus besides $1.0 million dollar + homes and commercial properties. Realistic individuals are discussing the most feasible land assemblage options that might exist and there is nothing within several miles of UM campus and even those would...

    This is simply boredom driven ... while we wait to see what happens with the transfer portal and recruiting. What sort of real estate staff does UM have? Takes a bit of dedication, planning and capital to assemble land. Especially in a community like Miami Dade County where the population has...

    How many 30-60 acre parcels are available in South Florida outside of Homestead? In Miami Dade?

    Agree 1000%. The $500 Million or even $750 million or even $1 Billion for BUILDING a stadium isn't an issue. If THAT were the only concern ground would have been broken already. Right now the ONLY place that you can readily purchase land ... vacant land that doesn't have shopping centers...

    You mention UM being different financially in 2023 than in 1950 and 1986. Are you aware of the Miami Dade population differences, land use density and land availability differences that are in play? 1950 Miami Dade population was 495,000; 1986 it had grown to 1.6 million and as of 2022 was up to...

    "High Speed Train" that takes 3 hours to go 220 miles? I took the bullet train in France over 20 years ago and we covered that same distance in 90 minutes. I live between Orlando and Daytona Beach. 268 miles driving, 3.5 hours to the Orange lot. Taking the "high speed train" I would have 1 hour...

    Snooze fest? You weren't sitting near us!! Enjoyed every second of that game. Shame UM hasn't had a game to be proud of since that one.

    Like I said ... splitting hairs. Nobody would be looking forward to playing a good UM team with 60,000 fans in HRS. It might not top the best of all time games at the OB but it will top 98%+ of the ACC venues that we play in.

    Kind of splitting hairs really. The Va Tech and ND environments in 2017 were crazy. The fan split of the ND game was the most lopsided I have ever seen for a major OOC game. Sure looked like 90% UM fans in the stadium. If UM can win again, 10 games regular season, that kind of environment is a...

    The aqua seats don't mean squat to me. What IS important is how the team handles opponents that we are 26 point favorites to hammer like MTSU. Could have been green and orange seats with a big "U" on the back of every one ... and fans still would have bailed at half time either leaving or...

    It’s kind of hard to take your comments too seriously when you admit you’ve never set foot in HRS. During the 2017 season Richt had some momentum going and the stadium was alive. The Virginia Tech game - week before ND - the building was rocking. Loud. Boisterous. Legit home field advantage. ND...
